Depends on what kinda headlights you have. Angel eyes go in the headlights, so not only would you have to take the bumper off to access your headlights, but you'd have to take apart your headlight to retrofit them in there.

As far as the gauges go, if you have gauge faces, you need to take off the bezel around your gauge cluster, and then get in your cluster to get them on, you'll also probably have to take the needles off, which is a little tricky. There are instructions on this site for how to do it, take a look around. "clearing your gauges" is for another project, but you can get the basic idea of how to do what you need to do.

yes, the bumper has to come off. thankfully its really simple.

Turn the steering wheel all the way to the right to give yourself some room in the left fenderwell. at the top, there will be a screw, as well as a few tabs. unscrew the screw, and pop out the tabs with a flathead. turn the steering wheel the other way and repeat on the other fenderwell. now, pop the hood. above the grille you will see 4 more of those pop-tabs. again, pop them out with a flathead. now, go under the bumper, and you will see a few more pop-tabs ( i think 8 but not sure) once both screws and all the tabs are popped, gently pull outward from the side of the bumper (right infront of the fender) and the bumper cover will pop right off. just wiggle it through the hood lock in the middle and lay the bumper cover on something soft so you dont dammage the paint (grass works fine).

Now to removing the headlight housing. There are 4 hex nuts holding each one in ( i think 10mm). there are 2 up top, and then 2 below. for the ones on top, they are easily accessable, as well is the outer lower one. for the inner lower one, you will need a socket extension. the lower ones are also attached to a metal peice that help keep the bumper leveled. now that these are out, follow the instructions in reverse to put the new lights in and put the bumper back on. when putting the lower hex in on the headlight, i find it makes it a lot easier to either magnetize the bolt or put a little bit of adhesive on it to keep the bolt on the wrench. good luck!

I just installed Anzo lights a week ago and you have no choice you must take the front bumper of but don't worry its easy with some patience and it's not really a bumper it's a bumper skin.

But do yourself a favor

If you plan to change the bulbs do it before the install also its wise to use a clear silicone sealant around the base of the outer bulb housing to keep out moister.

If you don't you will not have fun changing the bulbs once the new lights are mounted.

Mine fit nice and IMO look better than stock.

GOOD LUCK
